Earlier this year Sting released Baroque for the Wii. On October 28 it’s coming out for the PlayStation 2… again. Sting will release Baroque International which has English voice acting and Japanese subtitles. The only other difference is the first person mode. This feature is in Atlus’ version of Baroque so you aren’t missing anything […]

Siliconera readers may recall Spencer chronicling his journey through the Neuro Tower in Baroque for PS2 over the last couple of months. Well, now it's my turn to take that journey, this time on Wii. I was anxious to see just how the game played on Wii, and how Sting implemented the Wii's motion controls. […]

Yesterday, we wrote up a brief piece hinting at a delay for the dark world of Baroque. Unfortunately, this news is more than a rumor. Atlus updated their official release calendar with the cyclic dungeon crawler slated for April 8. This marks the second delay for Baroque, but I think this is a bright move […]

This is far from official, but the Gamestop release calendar has Baroque slated for April 8. Gamefly also has Baroque scheduled for an April release, although a couple of days later on April 10. Atlus hasn’t officially announced anything regarding a release date change aside from the original delay to March 15 18. Sting has […]

The last time I wrote about Baroque I was blowing myself up with boom bones. I’ve gotten notably better controlling the not-so-silent protagonist and conquered Neruo Tower multiple times. One of the tricks is to progress through the floors slowly. It’s tempting to jump in the nearest portal to plunge an extra 100 cubits […]

While we’re on the subject of Sting, let’s unearth one of their more obscure titles. No, I’m not talking about the Evolution RPG series, which Ubisoft localized for North America. Back in 2000, Sting took the twisted dungeon crawler Baroque and changed it into a vertical shmup. In Baroque Shooting players guide an angel with […]

A day after my first Baroque piece went live I get an e-mail from Atlus that Baroque won’t be arriving until March 18. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because Sting announced Baroque for Wii wasn’t coming out until March 13 in Japan. Previously, it looked like North America would get the widescreen Wii-make first. […]

Baroque begins with a blue haired protagonist talking to an archangel who drops a gun on the ground. The winged creature gave me a cryptic message, “there is meaning into you using this” before I stepped into Neuro Tower without any weapons. Well, technically I had the Angelic bazooka with five bullets… should I use […]

Sting never made a murmur about the existence of a Wii port, which allowed Atlus to surprise the world when they announced Baroque was coming to North America. I think we’re all expecting Sting to add in motion controls for the Wii-make and a nunchuck/remote input scheme is part of Baroque. If swinging the remote […]

Thanks to the work of some intelligent internet scouts we had a hint that Baroque was coming to North America a few months ago. Atlus is bringing the Playstation 2 game out in February 2008, but not without an unexpected announcement. Baroque is coming out for the Wii too! It’s unclear how motion control will […]

This rumor is skating on thin ice, nearly melted thin ice, but it’s too good not to report. Over at the Atlus forums an eagle eyed member noticed Steve Prince, the voice actor for Takaya, updated his resume with Persona 3: FES and Sting’s Baroque. However, his resume has been updated again and the games […]

Ask a gamer what makes a great game, and the first answer you'll most likely get will almost undoubtedly be either graphics or gameplay. But one very important and oft overlooked part of what makes a game great is the soundtrack. The music in a video game can touch us, make us scared, make us […]

A while back, I made mention of Sting working on a PS2 remake of their PSOne/Sega Saturn game Baroque. Out of sheer curiosity, I took it upon myself to see if I could find the opening to the original Baroque game on the Internets because, you know, you can pretty much find anything; and to […]

Those of you who’ve played Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union may be surprised to know that Sting’s latest RPG is an action RPG titled Baroque, a remake of a Sega Saturn/PSOne RPG. Dengeki Online reports that the official Baroque site has been updated with new content such as character bio, story, and a […]
